*Fibbleweed Farm*

"Ah Straw, good evening.

How are you? Well I trust?

I am little bit afraid about being near Eldenshay, don't wish to cause any problems!

I must say, your farm is a lot smaller than I expected."

*The last two sentences appear to have been slightly forced, however, once they are said, Gawain relaxs visibly. Upon closer inspection, his face is drawn and pale*

"I do like the farmhouse though, looks very cosy. Tea would be most welcome."

*Straw looks faintly amused*

There's more to the farm than just my home, I'll take you to show you the pigs in the morning.

Come on in.

*She leads you down the passage into the kitchen, it's quite large compaired to the rest of the house. Down one side is a table that could quite happily seat about 12 Halflings. On the other side is a long work service, at one end a sink and the other is a log fired arga.*

Oh good... Rosie must have gone to bed. Have a seat, you look ready to drop. I'll put the kettle on.

"I apologise for the comments, but I'm afraid I had to say them!"

*Gawain enters the kitchen, looks around and beams pleasantly at the surroundings.*

"I'm faintly tired, but nothing to do with exertion, more the strain of the past few days.

Things got quite heated in the Daily Adventurer the other day, did they not?"

Things always get heated on adventure, it's just one of those things.

You had your quest, I had my mission. I would have been quite happy to have gone on my own, though I would have missed you at my side.

You look stressed, nothing you've said has given offense, so don't panic.

Take a seat and stop worrying. We are both quite capable of having a meaningful discussion without insult. If you want to talk about it, that is...

Ah, the stress has nothing, and yet everything to do with the comments.

Indeed, I do wish to discuss the matter of the Protal. Though I am somewhat weaker than I was, I am hopefully able to offer a sword. It has a been a ..troubling few days to say the least. The path has vanished beneath my feet

*He pauses, looks distantly for a moment, before refocusing*

So, this Portal, what can we do? Sounds very similar to others that are springing up!

Similar, and yet more powerful then we have encountered so far.

With how drained we were after one attempt at cleansing and how much the corruption spread... far more powerful.

If you want to talk about something else though, you have my ear. Now and always.

Hmm, it would appear we need more power from some source. I am less experienced in the blessings of the Seven, though perhaps this may change over the next few months *Said with a slight grimace*

Well, I dont wish to burden you with my troubles, but let us say there is certainly a reason why I am not wearing my Grey tabard. Being as it isnt mine anymore.

*A pained expression crosses his face momentarily, before resolve settles*

What? You've left the order?

I think left is not the appropriate word. Sir Robin has cast me out, as I broke one of my core strictures of Knighthood, and failed to be a Grey.

I am not sure what to do from here. My life has taken a very different path.
